Bench Bleeding and Soft Top Installation

[Huw Upshall <hupshall@wolfenet.com>]

Two Questions:

First, how do you bench bleed a brake master cylinder?

Second, I have never installed a soft top before, I have pretty good
directions from the haynes manual but what is the black plate used for
that is bolted onto the rear deck?  (1500 model)  ?  There are three small
holes for fasteners to be riveted on as well as two bolt holes.  Does the
soft top have fastners installed that then just stap onto the fasteners
that are on the plate?  Does the top get folded under the plate?  Wassup??
